Chapter 421: Steam explosion

Standing in the yard, Xiao Ming looked in the direction of Bowen Academy and waited for a while without smoke rising. August 1st? Chinese Language Net??? ㈠??? ㈧?

He thought, this must not have exploded in the School of Chemistry, because after the explosion of the School of Chemistry, there will basically be a burst of smoke.

But no matter what it was, he had to check it out. It would be troublesome if it was killed. Thinking of this, he immediately sent someone to prepare a horse to Bowen Academy.

"what happened?"

Upon arriving at Bowen Academy, Xiao Ming ran straight to the crowded place.

"His Royal Highness." Seeing Xiao Ming, all the students immediately started yelling at each other.

"The laboratory of the School of Physics exploded and Lin Wentao and five students were scalded by hot water."

"Students from the School of Physics said they were doing steam experiments, and the boiler exploded without thinking."

"..."

On the way here, Xiao Ming had basically guessed it, because at the last meeting, Lin Wentao gave him the steam engine on the list. The students verified his guess by saying this.

"Where are they?" Xiao Ming was a little anxious. These were all technical backbones.

At this time, a person participating in the experiment said: "Your Highness is relieved, they are not badly hurt, but they were splashed by hot water, and now they are all with Doctor Sun."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked through the crowd and walked towards the physics laboratory. At this time, the laboratory was full of water. In the middle, a deformed boiler was lying on the ground, and the air outlet was exploded with flowers.

He sighed. He also warned Lin Wentao that the steam would explode. He didn't expect that something happened. Fortunately, this was only an experiment with a small steam boiler, and it was not very powerful.

After checking the scene, Xiao Ming walked to the inside of the college, which was the site of the medical school.

When he arrived at the medical school, he saw six people from Lin Wentao in Dr. Sun’s hospital.

"His Royal Highness, whoops." Lin Wentao saw Xiao Ming trying to stand up, but he immediately grinned while clutching his calf.

Xiao Ming hurriedly asked him to sit down. He looked at Lin Wentao's leg. There was a spot where his calf was scalded by hot water, and there were some blisters at this time.

He looked at the other students again, and there were some traces of hot water burns on the other five students.

"Why not be careful? Didn't this king tell you to make the pressure gauge first? It will be a problem not to explode if the boiler pressure cannot be grasped," Xiao Ming said.

Lin Wentao smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, this time I blamed me for being quick and quick. I have already given the structure diagram of the pressure gauge to the Department of Apparatus, but I couldn't wait to take them to perform the steam experiment first. I didn't expect the boiler pressure to be estimated incorrectly. There was an explosion."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming shook his head.

The structure of the pressure gauge is not complicated. Qingzhou can provide all the required materials, and the construction of the pressure gauge can be produced by existing machine tools.

In other words, it is not that Qingzhou cannot produce pressure gauges, but that there is no such indication.

Now Xiao Ming gave the design drawing to Lin Wentao. According to the design drawing, it is not a problem for a craftsman who can now produce watches to make pressure gauges.

The reason why he wants the pressure gauge to come out first is to reduce experimental accidents when manufacturing steam engines.

After all, he has a full set of knowledge, and there is no need to start this kind of research from a blank. In fact, the knowledge of Lin Wentao and others skips the simplest steam engine.

"It's not a big deal. You can do it as long as you are okay. For this king, you are more important than the steam engine. If something happens to you this time, no one will make the textbook stuff for this king in the future." Xiao Ming laughed.

Lin Wentao and others also laughed when they heard that, Xiao Ming cared about them so much, they were also moved in their hearts.

At this time, Doctor Sun said: "Your Highness, don't worry, they are all minor injuries, and they will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

"I'm relieved, remember, you first cooperate with the Equipment Department to produce the pressure gauge before continuing the following experiment." Xiao Ming exhorted.

Lin Wentao nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."

After comforting the six, Xiao Ming continued to ask, "Since you are all developing steam engines, what progress is there now?"

"Now the students basically understand the principle of the steam engine. This steam engine is actually an earthenware pot for boiling water. This steam is constantly produced in the earthenware pot, and the pressure in the earthenware pot will become greater and greater to a certain extent. The lid of the clay pot will be pushed open. If you press the lid hard and do not loosen it, when the pressure reaches a certain level, the pot will be exploded by steam. This explosion is the principle."

After a pause, Lin Wentao continued: “So if you add a piston to the pot, the steam will push the piston outwards. After releasing a part of the steam, the piston will fall back, and it will push again when the steam pressure is sufficient. The piston moves outwards, and so on repeatedly, if you add various devices to the piston rod, the steam engine can make linear motion, rotational motion, etc."

Lin Wentao said sternly, and the words were not rough, Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, it means you have a thorough understanding of the principle of the steam engine, but the principle is one thing, and it is another thing to make a qualified steam engine. , This king is waiting for your successful day, and then he will add officials to you."

Lin Wentao and others suddenly laughed.

Xiao Ming also had a smile on his face. According to the news brought by Yue Yun, the concept of a steam engine had already appeared in the West, and it was time for Lin Wentao to bring people from the School of Physics to catch up.

And with a complete knowledge reserve, he is confident that there will be minor setbacks in the process of building a Watt steam engine, but it takes only time to succeed.

But he didn't dare to underestimate the West~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, the world today is completely different from modern times, and even if it is modern, the Watt steam engine was developed in this century, so he still has a long way to go.

After saying some encouraging words to Lin Wentao, Xiao Ming left Bowen Academy. Although this time was thrilling, the experimental accident was unavoidable, and he could not avoid the doctor because of the experimental accident.

And now, with the students' mastery and understanding of textbook knowledge, he believes that an era of Qingzhou's technological explosion is coming, and this technological explosion will be even more fierce than the West.

With the advantages of science and technology, his fiefdom can catch up with the pace of Western countries today, otherwise the history of falling behind and being beaten will repeat itself.

After leaving Bowen Academy, Xiao Ming went straight back to the palace.

Lin Wentao and others do not lack knowledge of steam engines, but only application practice. In this regard, he has no choice but to let them go forward one step at a time.

What he can do is to provide a perfect environment for these students.
